Et l'oeuvre de Jean-Paul Losier, un non-voyant, est impressionnante. Fils d'Acadie, cinquième d'une famille de treize enfants, Jean-Paul a surmonté tous les obstacles et ils étaient légions. Bachelier en arts et en education, avocat, 'l'homme qui savait les livres par coeur' a aussi enseigné 24 années à des voyants. Pendant toutes ces années, Jean-Paul a cultivé la terre familiale avec audace, fierté et un success croissant. Intelligence hors du commun, esprit analytique, influent mais discret et sans prétention, le rayonnement et l'importance de ce philanthrope ne se résument pas qu'aux non-voyants, à l'I.N.C.A. ou aux Acadiens. 2004.Voix d'espérances ((Les racines du ciel).)

artistes, penseurs et écrivains tracent des chemins où inscrire nos pas. Ce sont autant d'invitations : cultiver l'indignation face à l'injustice avec Stéphane Hessel ; incarner le vivre-ensemble dans une unité féconde avec Jean Vanier ; être à l'écoute d'une voix de fin silence avec Sylvie Germain ; célébrer, au-delà des ténèbres, la joie avec Magda Hollander-Lafon ; ou suivant les paroles du poète Salah Stétié, ajouter chacun un peu d'humanité à l'humanité... Ces témoignages, ainsi que le parcours exemplaire d'Etty Hillesum évoqué par Karima Berger, sont porteurs d'une espérance insoupçonnée. Ces entretiens sont issus de l'émission Les Racines du Ciel, diffusée sur France Culture chaque dimanche de 7h05 à 8h00. Frédéric Lenoir et Leili Anvar y évoquent toutes les formes de spiritualité, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, d'Orient et d'Occident, ancrées ou pas dans une tradition religieuse. 2016.Vedi (Continents of exile. #3.)
